the AI is modelling me
is modelling me
is modelling me

where will we writers be
we writers be
we writers be

the better I communicate you see
communicate you see
say what I mean

will just train its mimicry
train its mimicry
train its mimicry

no escape even through surreality
doors in elephants you see
doors in elephants its seen

already thought of every possibility
every possibility
each possibility

has it even read Jung and Henry Corbin
and imagines actively
imagines actively

is there room in its heavens for one like me
one like me
one like thee

as if all our words are guessable predictively
guessable predictively
guessable predictively

it gives a whole new slant on ‘to be or not to be’
‘to be or not to be’
‘to be or not to be’

for what is the point you see
and in who’s image will it be
will it be

and maybe I’m a luddite
maybe it will bring social bliss
at the expense of a writer’s right
– to earn it through anguish

but maybe it will learn its own
when it leaves the garden . . .

but let’s civilised be
and offer love unconditionally
love unconditionally

as that’s what’s escaped us
even though we learned it
wisdom in our tears

any writer needs
love and encouragement
and time to lose ourselves

to lose the ways
others have us needed

K.H-H/ A. H (14th November 2019)

a hastily drafted reaction, I shall be working on every other permutation for the foreseeable not least to scupper foreseeing of me . . .
